PAYMENTS
M-Pesa and payment integrations
For most Nairobi customers, paying means M-Pesa. We connect your website to Safaricom’s M-Pesa API (Daraja) so customers can pay with an STK Push prompt on their phone, or by Paybill or Till number, and payments are recorded against the right order or invoice automatically. Besides M-Pesa, we have integrated Pesapal, iPay and PayPal, and many more gateways, so you can also take card payments and payments from overseas customers.
Common uses
- Online shop checkout
- Booking deposits for clinics, salons and tour operators
- School fee and event payments
- Paying invoices from a client portal

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Nairobi?
Website projects start from KES 65,000. The final price depends on scope, including the number of pages, e-commerce and payment features, integrations and custom development. We give you a fixed written quote after a free discovery call.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites take about one week. Larger sites, online shops and custom systems take longer depending on scope, and how quickly content and feedback come back also matters. We agree the timeline in writing before we start.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. We meet Nairobi clients at Watermark Business Park, Ndege Road, Karen, by appointment. Our team works remotely, so most of the project runs over video calls, WhatsApp and email, and many clients never need to travel.
Can you add M-Pesa payments to my website?
Yes. We integrate M-Pesa through Safaricom’s Daraja API (STK Push, Paybill or Till), so customers pay from their phones and payments are matched to orders or invoices automatically. Besides M-Pesa we have integrated Pesapal, iPay, PayPal and many more, so card and international payments are covered too.
Will my website rank on Google in Nairobi?
Every site we build is fast, mobile-friendly and set up with the technical and local SEO basics, and we help you set up your Google Business Profile. Rankings also depend on competition and on ongoing content and reviews, so we don’t promise positions. Our SEO service can take it further.
Do you handle domains, hosting and maintenance?
Yes. We can register a .co.ke or .com domain, set up secure hosting with SSL and backups, and maintain the site afterwards with updates, security monitoring and content changes.
Do you only work with Nairobi businesses?
No. We serve businesses across Kenya and clients worldwide. Nairobi is home, so we know the market well and can meet in person.
Will my website comply with Kenya's Data Protection Act?
We build in the practical basics: a privacy policy page, consent on forms, secure (HTTPS) data handling and limited data collection. Compliance also depends on how your business handles data, so we recommend checking your obligations with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) or a legal adviser.
